Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."A strong point of FortiGate is that the graphical interface is complete and easy to use, especially if we think there is a list of operations that we are able to perform inside."
"We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"The solution is easy to configure and maintain remotely."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
